The Boston Occupier
Encyclopedia
The Boston Occupier is the Occupy Boston
movement's independent newspaper. The newspaper's name was originally going to be The Occupy Boston Globe but was changed shortly before publication to its current name. The inaugural edition was published November 18, 2011 with approximately $9,300 in donations from a Kickstarter
campaign. The run was 25,000 copies distributed by volunteers throughout Dewey Square
and various MBTA stations.
The second edition is scheduled to be published on Monday, December 5, 2011. A subscription is planned to be offered, and the newspaper staff is looking for volunteer writers, photographers and more. A print edition of the paper will be released every two weeks, which will be distributed widely across the Boston area. One of the acting editors, Dan Schneider estimates that the donation funds, solely for printing and distribution, will last at least a few more months. There are also plans to publish an in-camp supplement to be distributed every other day, says Schneider. The website also notes plans for Kindle subscription services.
